recommend Bob Wallet instead of Namebase in the Handshake guide #41

most names are on Namebase but you shouldn't encourage the further use of Namebase because it's a centralized exchange (worse, it's in the US). rather tell users to withdraw their domain to Bobwallet and hold/manage it there.

@chaserene thank you for pointing this out, I am not very familiar with bobwallet, but the reason makes sense. I will be updating the DNS feature to link out to the Skynet Labs developer guides for HNS, ENS, and DNSLink - here is a link to the HNS page: https://docs.siasky.net/integrations/hns-names Check that out and let them know if you think it could better incorporate decentralized HNS tools! 🚀

@alexfreska thanks! their documentation is very similar in this regard, they don't instruct the user to take control of their HNS domain and rely on Namebase tooling. I will let them know when I get the time.

until then, everyone should know that you don't really own your Handshake name if you follow the Skynet documentation. it's yours as much as coins kept of Coinbase are "yours" (= they're not, the exchange can go down / censor you / exit scam / get hacked anytime).

not your keys, not your domains.
